JerseyTim:Actual Farking: Only after a frank discussion about white rights and the legalized racism that is affirmative action. Without that impediment, I would be so successful, you guys. Also, maybe some jailbait and a celebration of domestic violence. It's in the 1st Amendment.

Ahh, yes, this will allow me to use my "if white male privilege exists, then why do I live in my parents' basement" argument.

i upped my meds-up yours:Not to distract from the meta-fest, but local communities have no future unless they are based on politics, religion, or the having of crotchfruit. The enlightened folk, at least those without millions, will be stuck in crowded enclaves, with cockroaches and constant car break-ins.

As someone who works in local communities (and is still wondering WTF this 'discussion' is gonna be) I'd like to add that they have a future beyond that. Simply put those that will be awesome just simply give a damn about their fellow man. My neighborhood is low(ish) on the crotchfruit, but when our cat went MIA (hiding in the damn basement apparently for 3+ days) and I sent the word out to a neighbor, I met the rest of my ~ mile long street just from folks I had never met coming up and asking about if I had found the damn cat yet + letting me know they had an eye out for it. Pretty awesome on the simplest of levels, esp since we had been there for 3 months at that point, in a neighborhood where the average reign is probably 10+ years at least.

I could see as she sat alone at the bar that she was looking over her list of red lights and reassuring herself, "I bet if I paid $5 a month the admins would actually green my submissions". I ordered a drink for myself and another round for her and took a seat next to her, opened my ipad to opera and showed her my handle.

"You're a farker too?" she said as she took the drink from the bartender and clinked it against mine in a show of thanks. She asked me if I had ever signed up for totalfark to which I replied, "signing up for TF is like joining a fraternity in college and I'm too cool to 'pay for my friends'" and we laughed a hearty laugh....
